J.R. I've lost track of the "this" you referred to in your message. If you mean the postscript cartridge, no. I am familiar with users of it and their experiences – enough so that I will possibly be getting one soon. As for font selection, you need packages that work with or supply their owm PS font metric files. Then you select the font you want from the menu. Most DTP programs support Postscript. In the vanilla wordpro you are looking at ProWrite with its postscript add-on module, or excellence! with its included postscript fonts. (Someone else will have to speak to WordPerfect.) If you use a stnadard word pro a la scribble! etc you would end up with the PostScript default font which I believe is Times (or possibly courier??) Someone with IIP and PS cartridge could anser that for you. If you mean the LJP package, yes. Part of it's set of requesters is one to request which font you want. wmc
